And how is that worse than before? Qualified women and minorities were being passed over before. Qualified women and minorities are
still being passed over, despite diversity efforts, unless you want to make the somewhat circular argument that 81:19 (men:women) reflects qualifications. Is it just bad that more white men are now being affected?
I contend that qualified people will always be passed over, in every demographic group. Making that number zero for any group is not a goal. Making it proportional is. Do you have any evidence that a higher percentage of qualified men are being passed over than of qualified women? I highly doubt that you do, because everything I've seen suggests that women are still more likely than men to be passed over.
There's a word for the attitude that one's own group should be immune to phenomena that affect others. It's called privilege, and we could do with less of it.
